Earthwatch Earth Skill Networks 2016: An Open Opportunity to improve Management Practices to Protected Areas in Africa!

Deadline: 26 February 2016

Earthwatch and its Earth Skill Network (ESN) is seeking applications for its annual opportunity for funded training and mentoring in organizational and business management practices to protected areas in Africa.

The Earth Skills Network is a partnership between Earthwatch, UNESCO, IUCN and corporate partners, who are working together to improve the business management skills of staff working in protected areas.

The Earth Skills Network is the evolution of the successful Business Skills for World Sites Heritage programme which ran between 2009 and 2013 in partnership with Royal Dutch Shell and UNESCO. Across both programmes, Earthwatch has trained 40 business mentors who were paired with 36 protected are organisations. This equates to 114 protected area staff trained in business skills.

The Earth Skills Network bridges this gap by bringing together leaders from the business world with protected area managers, in a mentor-mentee relationship, to share knowledge and transfer key business skills.
